Should I introduce my Cane Corso puppy to ferrets right away?

Question

I have had a male and female ferret for over a year now, and we just added an italian cane corso 2 days ago to our family, he is very calm and quite obedient for his age, he is 13 weeks old. But I'm not sure what is the best way to approach, should I wait until he is more mature or is it better to introduce them as soon as posible? Thank you Kind regards Maria.

Hi, thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! Oh my goodness your fur babies are adorable!! I recommend introducing them while Mack is young. He will be a very large dog when full grown. It is best he learns how to behave with with ferrets now, so he gets used to them. I would have Mack on a leash at all times when the ferrets are out. This is a great time to teach Mack how to "leave it" when he attempts to chase or mouth the ferrets.Knowing now, rather than later, that he will be aggressive or violent with them will give you time to fix the behavior or to avoid their interactions. I hope this helps and I wish you the best of luck!
